Col, Ecosse team for Austen biopic
Columbia Pictures is brushing up on its Jane Austen with ``Becoming Jane,'' a biographical feature about the British author.
Developed by London-based period-piece specialists Ecosse Films, ``Jane'' will be produced by Graham Broadbent, co-founder and former partner at Mission Pictures.
Penned by Kevin Hood, the film is described as a biographical portrait of the British writer at around age 20, before she became famous, and involves a love theme with Austen falling for a young Irish lawyer. With the studio signing a development deal on the project, ``Jane'' is out to directors, with the studio looking to put the film into production next year.
Born in 1775, Austen is best known for her books ``Pride and Prejudice,'' ``Mansfield Park,'' ``Emma'' and ``Persuasion.'' With a strong bent toward historical matter, London-based Ecosse's credits include ``Charlotte Gray,'' which the company co-financed with Warner Bros. Pictures, and ``Mrs. Brown.''
Warners recently signed a deal to produce and finance Ecosse's feature film version of the British TV classic ``Brideshead Revisited.''
